Hear From a Real Patient
When Jim came to our practice, he’d been told by other dental offices that his oral health was so poor, they couldn’t even help him. Right away, he knew our team was different. “They told me they could give me new teeth so I could smile and were straightforward about what had to be done,” he says. “Everybody was real friendly and everybody was having a good day all the time.”
Healthy Gums Protect Your Smile and Health
Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place. When healthy, they protect your body from harmful bacteria that can travel through the bloodstream and contribute to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. At our North Oaks office, we take a preventive, whole-body approach to periodontics that helps you stay healthier in every way.
How We Treat Gum Disease at The Gorman Center
Every smile is different and so is every case of gum disease. That’s why Dr. Lexi Lippe creates treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, using diagnostic insights and modern techniques that prioritize both precision and comfort.
Laser Treatment Without Surgery
Instead of scalpels or sutures, we use diode lasers to target and remove harmful bacteria. This approach reduces inflammation, minimizes discomfort, and promotes faster healing. Most patients feel little to no sensitivity during or after the procedure.
Personalized Diagnostic Testing
Unlike most practices, we offer oral DNA testing to identify the exact bacteria contributing to your gum infection. This allows us to select the most effective treatment options and better understand your risk of recurrence.
Support Between Visits
To help you maintain results at home, Dr. Lippe may recommend the Perio Protect system, custom trays that deliver bacteria-fighting agents below the gumline. Used daily, they support healing and protect against future flare-ups.
Whole-Body Collaboration
When needed, we’ll coordinate with your physician to ensure your gum care aligns with broader health concerns because your mouth doesn’t exist in isolation.
